Indulge in the delightful taste of Crème Brûlée Cookies, a sweet treat that combines the classic flavors of crème brûlée with the beloved cookie.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the heavy cream until the dough is smooth.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar on top of each cookie. Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden crust.
- If you don’t have a torch, you can place the cookies under the broiler for a few minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For a twist, try adding a teaspoon of almond extract for a nutty flavor.
- Mix in some chocolate chips for added sweetness.
- Top the cookies with fresh fruit or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a decadent dessert.
